Breastfeeding And Exercise.. Posted: 08-30-06 05:20am
I'm a first time mom and i've always known
that i'm going to breastfeed. After I
have my baby I would love to bounce back,
but I know doctor's suggest that you don't
diet and do excessive exercise if you
breastfeed because the baby needs those
calories and nutrients. However, I know
that women that breastfeed tend to lose
weight anyways because they are giving up
to 600 calories a day to the baby. Can I
exercise at all? I'm a little confused.
I don't want to deprive my baby of the
nutrients she needs, but I don't want to
be 'more to love' either. Can I take
stroller walks as long as i'm not doing
any anarobic exercise to an extreme I
should be okay right?

eat properly and do some exercise ...Dont
go crazy though. I know i'll do exercise
to help my tummy get firm after giving
birth....If there is specific areas of
concern work on them in a healthy way.
